As soon as a story is taken as true, there is a sense of I & other and identification within form. And this makes it difficult for what I am to notice itself, for several reasons.
I am identified as an object within form, so I don’t look for myself outside of those boundaries.
I take myself as form, so all I see is form. I don’t notice how all form is emptiness/awakeness itself.
Attention is caught up in stories, which makes it less easy for what I am to notice itself.
Initial outline…
- when take stories as true
- take myself as segment within form, so don’t look for myself outside of that
- take myself to be an object within form, so all I see is form
- caught up in stories, so less easy for what I am to notice itself
